How to Prepare Your Home for a Cleaning Service

You don't need to clean before the cleaners come — but a little prep helps your team focus on deep, detailed work instead of tidying. Here's how to get the most from every visit.

A quick 10-minute prep

  • Pick up clutter, toys and loose items from floors and counters
  • Put away dishes or load the dishwasher
  • Clear valuables and important papers
  • Secure pets in a comfortable space
  • Note any priority areas or problem spots

Communicate your priorities

If a specific room, surface or issue matters most this week, tell your team. We're happy to shift focus so you get exactly what you need.

Make access easy

Share entry instructions and let us know about alarms or parking. The smoother the access, the more time goes into cleaning your home.
